Hi Folks,
My own experience of my seats is that when in the seated position for an hour
or so there is a definite pressure point right on my butt cheeks mainly I
think because my foam seat isn't quite thick enough or is too soft. I end up
feeling the flat floor of the glassed foam inserts covering the pushrod tunnel.
I want to do it again as part of a refurb and think the best thing to use is
to determine what shape I would need for total (wrap-around) support. Isn't
there some way of sitting on a bag of polystyrene beads and then sucking all the
air out? I believe race car drivers custom fit their seats somehow this way.
Anyone know of a kit or something?
Once you have the basic shape you could get a better idea of what the final
shape ought to be. My guess is that given the posture you end up with in a
Europa there would be a lot more foam in the lumbar area (and below) as well as
under the legs.
My 2c worth.
